Blurry picture - Nikon Digital Cameras

Answers :

Hi,

\015\012Some low-end digital cameras tend to take\015\012blurry pictures when the camera isn't perfectly steady and/or there's\015\012no much light. The built-in flash is normally weak and one has to find\015\012the perfect distance by trial and error. If you're too close, the\015\012picture comes washed out. If you're too far, it comes too dark.Try the following:\015\012\015\012

Try to get enough light, by turning lights on if indoors.

\015\012

Hold the camera with both hands, elbows on your sides on a relaxed posture.

\015\012

If taking portraits ask people to stay reasonably still.

\015\012

If taking pictures of fast-moving objects, see if your camera has a sports mode and select it.

\015\012

Pre-focus.\015\012Most cameras shutter button has a distinguishable mid-point. If you\015\012press it a little bit, the camera pre-focuses but it doesn't take the\015\012picture just yet. It does when you press all the way down. By\015\012pre-focusing you minimize drastically the time that the camera needs to\015\012register the image and you have many more chances to take a good shot.

\015\012

You may want to use a tripod, a monopod or the built-in timer to minimize the shaking and see if that makes any difference.

If\015\012the camera takes blurry pictures consistently even after following the\015\012advice above, you may want to consider getting a better one. It could\015\012be the camera is defective, but most likely it is due to its low\015\012tolerance to shaking and low quality overall.

Picture Quality I am having an issue with my Nikon Coolpix S51 Digital Camera. It was working fine a few months ago, now the picture is all blurry and has a blue tint to it. I have tried messing with the color options, and nothing seems to happen.

A blue tint would be the color balance in the white balance settings in the menu. Go set the white balance to "Auto" if he pictures are blurry, you could have dirty lens. Take a q tip and wipe it down without and solution to it. Otherwise you could ...

Blurry picture in my nikon - Nikon Digital Cameras

Blurry pictures Using a point and shoot digital camera, it was set on night mode by mistake. Pictures turned out blurry. The snapshots were taken inside at night using flash in the camera. Probably because in night mode, camera was setting depth of field wrong. So using flash and set in night mode was the problem. But can anything be done to correct the blurry pictures taken in this situation?? Any software known to correct this problem? Thank's, Angela Sapp

Blurry LCD Well, I have recently got a SD400 camera from dell.com. The first thing I noticed was the inaccurate LCD. The picture in the LCD seemed blurry(bad resolutoin, weird coloring) and inaccurate. But, after actually taking the pictures, the picture seemed perfect. (In the review mode and the display right after you take a picture.)
Is this a problem? This is my first digital camera, thus I had no previous experience with camera LCD.
Or is this normal, without flash, everything is suppose

Nikon Everytime i try to take a picture with my Nikon DX, 'off' appears on the top digital screen next to the battery bar and the camera will not take a picture. I'd be really gratefull for some help with this as i need the camera for a photography class. thanks :)

Stabilizer Photo dummy here AGAIN....I have been reading alot about some pictures being blurry b/c of the natural shake of the human hand....with the camera I have Canon Digital Rebel XT....I only have the basic lens that came with the camera so far...in the basic zone modes...is it normal for the pictures to be blurry b/c of the natural shake in our hands...if so...then is this lens just pointless?

The lens you really need to own with the xt is the ultrasonic series which are the stabilized lenses-these lens run from 500-600 and up-not cheap. If your doing handheld telephoto w/no tripod can really make a difference-more important to spend this ...

Blurred pictures I started using my new Nikon Coolpix on Christmas Eve and have taken photos for about 2 weeks. More than half of the pictures are very blurry after I transferred them to my computer and enlarged them to view. My daughter also got a Canon Elph on the same day and her photo quality is much much better. I also own a Nikon D5000 and have always been very happy with the quality, thus my choice of a Nikon pocket camera. Have I made a mistake?

If you are using a card reader of some sort (other than using the camera to download the images), it may not be SDHC compliant. Have you tried using the camera to download the images via the supplied cable? If you've taken the images in RAW format, t ...
